Mendelssohn Festival: Pierre Boulez Saal

15 December 2023

Elena Bashkirova, pianist and president of Leipzig’s Felix-Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Stiftung, has invited a group of musician friends to gather for a two-day Mendelssohn Festival at the Pierre Boulez Saal—located just a few blocks from the composer’s historic Berlin home. In addition to works by Felix and his sister Fanny, the program includes music by Hans Krása, Viktor Ullmann, and Gideon Klein, three 20th-century Jewish composers persecuted and murdered during the Nazi era.

Mozart Week with Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra

31 January 2024

Mozart
Sinfonia concertante for violin, viola and orchestra in E flat major KV 364

Ludwig van Beethoven
Symphony No. 5 in C minor op. 67

“Fifty shades of C Minor” could be the motto of this concert: deadly sad in the slow movement of the Sinfonia concertante K. 364, with which Mozart said goodbye to Salzburg in 1780 – dramatic and defiant Beethoven’s “Fate Symphony”. But all tensions dissolve in the final sentences.
